My friend Chelsea got infected somehow and people clicked the link in her away message (hijacked away message) and it installed the virus on there computer.  Its posing as a screen saver from the show friends.   After seeing the file type and knowing it was an AIM virus I tried to warn people not to download, but there sheep :-/ . For me I installed it 3 times to figure it out.  First off I have a firewall, and by blocking it from getting internet access it stops it.  Ex. If you have a firewall, install the program, it asks for access to the internet and you deny.  That will stop it overall.  In XP I found that it went into several of my drivers containing Friends in the name.  I run on Windows XP.  Now, I manually searched it out and deleted several versions.<br>So far other than the recipe for deleting already I have found this works SOME of the time on 2000 pro and XP's.<br><br>First, find the original file and delete it... Or better yet, rename it to a txt. type of file.<br><br>Secondly, do several computer searches through the start menu, search for all files and folders; search for every word in the original file name individually, dont be lazy and search for the whole thing!<br><br>Thirdly, delete all those files and after all have been deleted and you double checked they stayed deleted, empty the recycle been if you already havent and pull your comps plug, or hold down power so they dont come back when saving your settings in Windows.<br><br>Boot up and dont access the internet right away.  Search for all the files again and make sure they havent come back.  Now go onto the internet and download the Zone Alarms firewall.  Log off of the internet and install.  Do a virus scan with as many virus programs as you can find... Free ones usually work, search for the files again and delete if necessary.  Then log onto the internet.  Make sure Zone alarms security is as high as possible, and dont let anything default access!  If anything like aimsrg.exe or something that says AIM that you know isnt the AIM program trys to access then dont let it access :)<br><br>Goodluck!", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2004-09-06_10:39:29", "killed": false, "user_key": "c831cd50fa883de328d96d6b1581876e", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "5 years ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "2768271": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "OK<br><a href=\"http://www.jayloden.com/VirusClean.htm\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.jayloden.com/VirusClean.htm</a><br>IT KILLS aLL AIM VIRUSES", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2004-09-06_11:29:36", "killed": false, "user_key": "47e6280c8792acaaa8bc999cb2942091", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "5 years ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "2768272": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "&lt;ul id=\"quote\"&gt;&lt;h6&gt;YO wrote:&lt;/h6&gt;OK<br><a href=\"http://www.jayloden.com/VirusClean.htm\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.jayloden.com/VirusClean.htm</a><br>IT KILLS aLL AIM VIRUSES&lt;/ul&gt;<br><br>THANKS!!<br>U saved me alot of time.<br>i didnt want to follow the manual ways..<br>kinda long", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2004-09-06_11:30:52", "killed": false, "user_key": "5c7d38585e4a88fed172bf20d0489916", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "5 years ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "2768273": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "*Crying* people i tthink i really give up.. i was so excited i worked for hours with what you guys told me.. and i thought for sure i was in the clear bcus i hadnt seen the away message in days... i even helped all my friends get rid of theirs by sending them your guys link.. but somehow the virus had just been \"in hiding\" or something bcus it returned today.. pop up away note and all.. i even tried that AIMFIX thing that worked for everyone.. just not me =*(", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2004-09-08_11:57:49", "killed": false, "user_key": "7c4455626754e1b9bc3be232b1024136", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": null, "votable": true, "date": "5 years ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "2768274": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "&lt;ul id=\"quote\"&gt;&lt;h6&gt;Anonymous wrote:&lt;/h6&gt;*Crying* people i tthink i really give up.. i was so excited i worked for hours with what you guys told me.. and i thought for sure i was in the clear bcus i hadnt seen the away message in days... i even helped all my friends get rid of theirs by sending them your guys link.. but somehow the virus had just been \"in hiding\" or something bcus it returned today.. pop up away note and all.. i even tried that AIMFIX thing that worked for everyone.. just not me =*(&lt;/ul&gt;<br><br>Download hijack this...<br><a href=\"http://www.richardthelionhearted.com/~merijn/downloads.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.richardthelionhearted.com/~merijn/downloads.html</a><br><br>Create a new thread and post your log file in our spyware forum.<br><br>Log files posted to this thread will be deleted.

This is going to print a long list of all the applications that are running on your computer. Now here is the hard part. If you know your coputer pretty well, you should be able to figure this part out. You need to figure out which of the processes is the virus. Unfortunately, it has MANY different names.

Then go to the Windows folder. Then go to System32. Now, to do this, you MUST know EXACTLY when you ran this program. If you do, sort the entire folder by date, and go find the program that corresponds to that exact time. BE VERY CAREFUL THOUGH!! You must make SURE that this is the EXACT time, otherwise you may delete something you need. It should look like the name of some other program, like aolmsngr.exe, or wmediaplayer.exe. Once you are positive that you have found the executable, go back to command prompt and you should see this program running. Next to it is a number labeled PID. Once you find that, type TASKKILL &lt;insert the number you found&gt;. This should stop the program. Then, go back to the C:/Windows/SYstem32 folder and DELETE that .exe file that you found.

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-2768270" class="dsq-comment-message">Last night and early into this morning a couple friends of mine had the same virus problem.  My friend Chelsea got infected somehow and people clicked the link in her away message (hijacked away message) and it installed the virus on there computer.  Its posing as a screen saver from the show friends.   After seeing the file type and knowing it was an AIM virus I tried to warn people not to download, but there sheep :-/ . For me I installed it 3 times to figure it out.  First off I have a firewall, and by blocking it from getting internet access it stops it.  Ex. If you have a firewall, install the program, it asks for access to the internet and you deny.  That will stop it overall.  In XP I found that it went into several of my drivers containing Friends in the name.  I run on Windows XP.  Now, I manually searched it out and deleted several versions.<br>So far other than the recipe for deleting already I have found this works SOME of the time on 2000 pro and XP\'s.<br><br>First, find the original file and delete it... Or better yet, rename it to a txt. type of file.<br><br>Secondly, do several computer searches through the start menu, search for all files and folders; search for every word in the original file name individually, dont be lazy and search for the whole thing!<br><br>Thirdly, delete all those files and after all have been deleted and you double checked they stayed deleted, empty the recycle been if you already havent and pull your comps plug, or hold down power so they dont come back when saving your settings in Windows.<br><br>Boot up and dont access the internet right away.  Search for all the files again and make sure they havent come back.  Now go onto the internet and download the Zone Alarms firewall.  Log off of the internet and install.  Do a virus scan with as many virus programs as you can find... Free ones usually work, search for the files again and delete if necessary.  Then log onto the internet.  Make sure Zone alarms security is as high as possible, and dont let anything default access!  If anything like aimsrg.exe or something that says AIM that you know isnt the AIM program trys to access then dont let it access :)<br><br>Goodluck!</div>\

I have been able to delete active.exe, winnt/system32/nbzkrw.exe, and winnt/system32/MSCRON.exe; however, winad.exe will not allow me to delete.  I went to grisoft and downloaded AVG free, but I am having problems installing it.  I get an error that says "The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications" "Choose close to terminate the application"  My computer is a Compaq EVO running Windows XP.  I also uninstalled AIM, was this necessary?  Thanks for all your help!!!<br>smiles,<br>lisa&lt;/ul&gt;<br><br>The new version of hijack this contains a process killer.  Do this...<br>1. Open Hijack this<br>2. Click the Config button<br>3. Click Open Process Manager<br>4.

DELETE IT. than empty your recycle bin. than, to be safe, go to START (on your taskbar)---&gt;SEARCH ...files/folders....than type in ElimiExplorer.exe (after you\'ve emptied your recycle bin) to make sure it\'s not on your computer anymore WALAH you\'re done! :-D <br><br>(begging snipped)<br><br>Mod Edit:  Great advice... but no begging for donations.</div>\

First of all, it is usually packaged with multiple other bugs... so just cleaning off elimiexplorer will not clear the problem.  <br><br>Here is how I would handle it on an xp machine:<br><br>&lt;ul&gt;1. click <strong>start</strong><br>2. click <strong>run</strong><br>3. in textbox type <strong>cmd</strong> and click <strong>ok</strong><br>4. in the command window enter <strong>tskill ElimiExplorer.exe</strong><br>5. in the command window enter <strong>attrib c:windowssystem32elimiexplorer.exe -r -s -h</strong><br>6. in the command window enter <strong>del c:windowssystem32elimiexplorer.exe</strong><br>7. in the command window enter <strong>exit</strong><br>8. Then I would run several of the spyware removal systems described here:<br><a href="http://www.tech-recipes.com/windows_tips674.html" rel="nofollow">Spyware and Malware Removal - Links and Hints</a>&lt;/ul&gt;<br>The goal should always be to do enough manually to be able to get your spyware programs where they can work.<br><br>Booting into safe mode before running a spyware cleaner in a known infected system is a good way of increasing your chances it will work as well.</div>\

I don\'t remember... Anyways I looked at their profile and it was a regular profile. So i wasn\'t suspicious of anything.  10 minutes later my computer restarted itself. When it reloaded it was running really slow and when I looked at the process tree aim.exe was making my processor run at 100% continiously.  I ran ad-aware and Norton 2004 and it detected nothing.  Also when I would end the aim.exe process tree my computer would automatically turn off.  So what I did when I restarted my comp was end the aim.exe process tree as soon as it came up and I am able to use my comp but I havn\'t tried to open aim back up yet...

This is going to print a long list of all the applications that are running on your computer. Now here is the hard part. If you know your coputer pretty well, you should be able to figure this part out. You need to figure out which of the processes is the virus. Unfortunately, it has MANY different names. Mine was wmediaplayer.exe (which i knew was a fake because we all know the real executable for that it wmplayer.exe!!!!)<br><br>The BEST way to figure out which one it is is this:<br><br>In another window, go to your C Drive (or whatever your main drive where windows is installed). Then go to the Windows folder. Then go to System32. Now, to do this, you MUST know EXACTLY when you ran this program. If you do, sort the entire folder by date, and go find the program that corresponds to that exact time. BE VERY CAREFUL THOUGH!! You must make SURE that this is the EXACT time, otherwise you may delete something you need. It should look like the name of some other program, like aolmsngr.exe, or wmediaplayer.exe. Once you are positive that you have found the executable, go back to command prompt and you should see this program running. Next to it is a number labeled PID. Once you find that, type TASKKILL &lt;insert the number you found&gt;. This should stop the program. Then, go back to the C:/Windows/SYstem32 folder and DELETE that .exe file that you found. This should take care of that virus.<br><br>Well, sorry this is so long and confusing, but good luck and I will try to help you more if this is completely worthless! :-P</div>\
